Robert E. "Bob" Heybach, Sr, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2025 at his home in Warminster, PA. He was 81 years old.

Bob was born in Abington, Pennsylvania on February 24, 1944 to the late Theodore, Sr. and the late Ella Heybach. He is the beloved husband of Marguerite "Marge" Heybach; father of Robert (Bob) E. Heybach, Jr. and his wife Debbie, Chuck Heybach and his wife Genevieve, Kathleen Donaher and her husband Robert, and Nancy Cartwright and Jerry Cawley. Bob was the proud grandfather of 15 grandchildren: Jessica Laurich and her husband Stephen, Shannon Park and her husband Eric, Kimberley Sankey and her husband Joe, Aidan Donaher, Jenna Hattrich and her husband Dylan, Declan Donaher, Olivia Heybach, Chad Cartwright, Kieran Donaher, Emily Heybach, Genevieve Heybach, Deirdre Donaher. Ava Cartwright, Chuck Heybach Jr, Natalie Heybach. Bob was also a great-grandfather of six: Charleigh Laurich, Kinsley Laurich, Beau Sankey, Logan Park, Colton Hattrich, and Steele Sankey. Bob was the brother of the late Theodore Heybach, Jr, the late Ella Heybach, and the late Ernst Heybach. He is also survived by a loving extended family.

Bob was born in Abington and raised in Jamison, Pennsylvania at his family's farmhouse. He attended Central Bucks High School. As a young man, Bob was active in various sports, playing baseball, football, and bowling. As a teenager, Bob loved roller skating, and he spent many Saturdays at the Warrington Roller Rink. Bob entered the family business Heybach & Sons Inc. in Jamison in the early 1960's, where he worked alongside his father Teddy Sr and his brother Teddy Jr, and eventually his two sons Bob and Chuck. Bob moved to Warminster, Pennsylvania in the early 1970's, residing in Warminster for the remainder of his life. Bob retired from the family business in 2010. Bob loved attending his children's sporting events, and he was always their biggest and loudest fan. As each grandchild would go to high school or college, "Poppop" would often be seen wearing their school's sweatshirts and hats. Bob was also a very passionate Philadelphia sports fan cheering on his beloved Eagles & Phillies. He cried tears of joy when the Eagles won their most recent Super Bowl.
